I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@gordoncullen7176]

@Kenzo Markus instablaster :)

[@kenzomarkus4888]

@Gordon Cullen Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kenzomarkus4888]

@Gordon Cullen it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

[@DodgyDev182]

Amazing work - can you please keep the background music lower as I can't hear you properly. Thanks !

[@goldrickgaming007]

Josh, your work was amazing. Appreciated!

[@gav2759]

Respect for continuing with draw knife despite earthquake.

[@nzmaori_6940]

Love your work mate, been watching your videos for a while now and its cool to see how your methods have evolved over time. Keep the videos coming cause I love seeing these bat making/repairing videos!

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

I know nothing about Cricket. I do know, however, that was some fine woodworking! Excellent repair and restoration!

[@msrikavya9651]

Not even that it is a game?

[@daniel061208]

A friendly suggestion. While grinding, drilling, cutting or doing other work where fine dust is produced, pls ensure you wear a proper nasal mask. This will save damage to your lungs in the long run. This maybe inconvenient while working but is a life saver. The fact most Doctors won't tell you is, when it comes to lungs(unlike heart or kidney) there's very little medical advancement and cure. Pls don't expose yourself to COPD or Fibrosis or asbestosis. All caused by fine dust. Thanks for reading. Take care.

[@MyKkata]

@Nick Maclachlan he can do both. Can't he? We are talking about potential life threatening diseases

[@gtanz8475]

Great work and very satisfying watching something made new. Keep up the great work and videos

[@ahmedjaveri2142]

Josh I really appreciate your hard work

[@pwithers2]

You should show the reconditioned bat being used in a game to round the video off, that would be cool. Good work

[@Thegamingpenguin]

pwithers2 he probably can’t there most likely payed for work that the bat is not his but otherwise I agree

[@GirishWaranGirish]

Hi Jpg, very good evening. U done a excellent job & keep it up. And Im expecting more stuffs from you.

[@losedarkhorse]

It’s an art and you have what it takes to impress many cricketers like myself. Well done 👍

[@GMCShazamataz]

Great job on the resto. Awsome to watch.

[@Sathishkumar-bw3up]

Lovely and amazingly done. Good work Mate.

[@JayVandyll]

Look into getting some peel ply instead of using tape. You can get it from any composite shop. It helps with resins and glues so it doesnt stick to your tools

[@JPGavanCricket]

jayvandyll most of the time the tape just works for a small amount of compression but mostly to have a barrier between the bat and wooden blocks

[@archieracey9661]

Absolute quality video, keep them coming

[@AbhishekChaurey]

Great work... Highly appreciated... Only one thing that may be improved is the filler you filled in front side of the bat is clearly visible after finishing... If the color tone matched with the original wood ..No one could have noticed that its an old bat 😊👍

[@JPGavanCricket]

Not much I can do there unfortunately.

[@ibrahimshareef3984]

Yes another video 🤩

[@JPGavanCricket]

How good!

[@aussienads]

Great work...well played!

[@BennyCFD]

That was an antique and had a lot of history and character. The owner should have left it as it was and bought a new one. But as for the restoration. Excellent job.

[@JPGavanCricket]

BennyCFD thanks! Of course this repair was requested by the customer.

[@johndallyn7008]

Awesome job, I have a ridgeback in nearly the same state as that, trying to put the same stickers back on though as it's so iconic!

[@james.cr_1854]

Hey, I love these kinds of videos and it's great to find another channel that is producing this sort of content. I also have a broken bat that is in need of a repair, I have tried to fix myself but I don't have the correct equipment so I am fighting a loosing battle

[@st1llbleed1ng]

The whole experience shifted to another level is when i changed the playback speed to 2x 🤩

[@kathiresansankarsubramanian]

Wonderful restoration. Keep up the good work.

[@zoraizsafana8370]

Excellent work done

[@Thebreakdownshow1]

LOVE YOUR VIDEO MAN. reminded of my childhood with cricket.

[@BatandBallCricket]

From dud to hundred. Love the concept of these challenge vids to test your skills! As mentioned by others, the music is a tad loud when you’re talking. One more from me, look at moving the camera to free standing when using the draw knife. One of a cricket bat makers/repairers greatest skills is the use of the draw knife, so show yours off without the camera shake. Looking forward to the next one of these! Great job.

[@nrgcarrington]

Is it any good as a bat for hitting balls with? a) the face was all dried out and cracked - won't it just keep on cracking? (and you didn't seem to feed the wood with anything) b) won't the filled areas have a different feel from the original wood? c) won't the filler just break up and fall out when a ball hits it, despite the plastic covering? d) although I understand the purpose of the video is to "reclaim" an apparently worthless old bat, is it really worth all that work? e) is Super Glue really any use for wood? Just interested. No axe to grind.

[@JPGavanCricket]

Hey Nick, happy to discuss. a) sometimes you can only do what you can do. The damage to the face is due to wear and tear which is natural for cricket bats and will continue to happen, like it has over the last 30 years. As a repairer my job is to get the maximum life span out of each bat but no bat lasts forever. b/c) they do sound a bit different but the filler is a decent top layer to the bat. The PVA filler doesn't crack up as much as it's a bit more elastic and is better than a hard filler in terms of performance. I've done the same on top level bats and even had one used in some Aussie T20/ODI games. d) client is happy to have their retired bat back and it made some interesting content. I say yes! e) super glue is awesome in bat repairs. Particularly reaching into tight cracks. Sometimes with wood glue you can't get it all the way into small openings. I've also found it lasts pretty well in most cases.

[@timwalker5646]

josh.you show alot of pleasure in putting your stickers on a bat.great work

[@DonaldSimsProduction]

Most interesting. Thank you for sharing your skill.

[@PrashantKumar-yb8ul]

[@shayanscott]

Trigger: And that's what I've done. Maintained it for 20 years. This old bat had 17 new middles and 14 new handles in its time. Sid: How the hell can it be the same bat then?

[@casadelshed9128]

Shayan Scott A fine retelling of a old joke.

[@boxtie]

amazing restoration, surely most would have hoyed it out ! could watch craftsmen at their work all day. well done. ....sure it must have been pointed out previously..a dust mask is required ?

[@raghavanks7841]

[@asadmahmood5871]

U r doing very good repairing

[@Watchlover371]

Amazing work but it didn’t look like a big bat to start with - what’s the end weight ? 2lb 4????

[@mariumrajah]

Loved watching your video

[@amitrawat1594]

I am from India ...can you tell me what you used to making the paste with favicol for filling the cracks.?

Stupid question: were the Kookaburra bubbles in 1996/1997 wider than the Gunn and Moore bats of the same time? It seems so on TV. 😊

[@mynameisray]

Pro Tip for making videos. Keep the music volume LOW during times you're speaking, and bump it up during times when you're not.

[@deepakpuri5438]

How you are making this brown gum?

[@dineshkintali7649]

Really Fantastic bro

[@bikramsingha7667]

Plsss make more videos we enjoying you to take that kind of challenges Thanx

[@Slicko44tickey21]

Every team should get a bat fixer I think it would be good

[@sunny467777]

Hi can you please tell me from where have you got that grip replacement tool, please share. thanks

[@MS-gn4gl]

Is that branding added long after it was made or something? I'm surprised there was no attempt to keep that there? I don't know enough about cricket to know obviously. Just from other restorations that generally keeping the original branding if possible is always preferred.

[@richard-gn3es]

7 months later i was thinking the same thing? So much was changed that the owner is getting a completely different bat back..

[@Leo-vy1kv]

LEGENDARY 😍😍 😍😍 😍

[@chitraraj007]

Good work man..

[@shahabbas7660]

Very good

[@mynameisray]

Also, a good craftsman will keep the item as original as possible, while cleaning up the troubled areas. You may as well have sold them a new one with how bad you mangled the old one.

[@tameerhussain944]

nice work

[@gifteddubstep]

No oil?? The old glue and dust trick haha love your work mate

[@JPGavanCricket]

Jonty Paterson thanks! I usually leave oiling to the owner. People have their theories 🙄

[@tchadwic82]

Have no idea how I ended up here. Was having some banter with my Aussie mate about ball tampering then this popped up hahaha.

[@Ashgrey0]

You get things recommended about the things you speak. It's scary tbh

[@olliepratt5282]

Your a legend

[@DanTuber]

5:02 Is that just glue and sawdust? Why the plastic sticky cover? I thought bats got oiled. Also why cut the handle out?

[@JPGavanCricket]

The handle was broken.

[@rolandskirving2992]

Good job Josh. Where are my stickers though. No rush

[@g2macs]

The music is not needed mate.

[@raghavanks7841]

pls indicate the weight of the bat before and after.Just for our understanding.

[@bsnlaizawl8721]

You r great Bro.. Nice work.. Keep it up

[@simonscott1121]

will that putty really stand up? I wouldnt have thought it would..... anyone know?

[@encalica853]

Another video I saw was a guy doing this commercially and he explicitly said at the beginning *'NO WARRANTY'* says it all I think

[@SheryarShirazi]

what was the purpose of tapping initially?

[@ml.2770]

Now the bat has a wood glue and saw dust face. Will that work the same? Will it last?

[@jakegriffiths2253]

Loved the video just turn around he music down a little when your talking haha

[@JPGavanCricket]

Can do next time!

[@leonfoster2572]

Do you make plain cricket bats ?

[@indrajitbiswas8050]

It can be removed and bad can be new one ....but the power of the bat means the shot or stokes will not increase.....ok.... friend...😔😔😔sorry if I hurt u....😔😔😔
